The Election Commission (EC) said it is printing 57 million ballots for the May 14 general election and gave assurances that the authenticity of the ballots can be verified to prevent electoral fraud.
EC deputy secretary-general Kittipong Boriboon said on Tuesday there are 52 eligible voters this year and the EC plans to print 57 million ballot sheets, which come in book form.
Sheets can be torn out of the books to create an individual ballot, which will then be handed to each voter. However, the books will be distributed to the polling stations whole, making it extremely difficult to tamper with them, he said.
Normally, the delivered ballots must match the number of eligible voters at each respective station. But spare ballots may be kept at the station.
